MISTAKE OF A YOUNG MAN.
He DisGraces Himself and Loses His
Situation.

nc DISETaCeb hlHse1I anu LOSES Ills
Situation.
The many friends OF John s. Hollings-
head learned definitely yesterday that the
rumors concerning him which have been
In quiet circulation for some days past had
a solid foundation. He was clerk in the
pany until about two weeks ago. AT that
time he left his position in disgrace. His
downfall was due to his having at various
times appropriated to his own uses money
paid him by gas consumers, and but for an
accident he might having continued filling
up his pockets at the gas company's ex.
pense for some time to come.
receive money and then fail to credit the
amount to the customer. This was done in
the case of q person who had always been
very prompt In making payments and the
secretary proceeded to Investigate, the re-
suit being that the error was traced up to
Holllngshead. He was charged with hav-
ing used the money, and he confessed at
once that he had done so, not only in that
particular case, but in others; the total
sum amounting to nearly 5000. This Hol-
lipgshead tried to make good, but failed.
The company decided not to prosecute
him, as he was a warm friend Of President
Mcllhenny's and a favorite with all his as
soclates. The officers of the company are
quite reticent regarding the affair, and sln-
cerely regret Its occurrence. One of their
boasts has been that the gas company never
had defaulter In its employ. Some time
ago a clerk was short 800 on his books,
but he Immediately made 1t good.
Mr.. Hollingshead is still In the city.
Nearly every person who talked about
the unfortunate affair last night expressed
heartfelt sympathy with the young mans

What is Being Done by the Associated
Charities.

The Associated Charities Of the Distric
Of Columbia held their sixth annual meet
ing at Foundry Methodist Episcopal
Church last evening, ex.offlcio president,
Commissioner Vim. B. Webb, presiding.
A large proportion Of the audience was
composed Of delegates from the several sub
divisions of the association. The exercises
were opened with prayer by Rev. DIR. Small,
after which President Webb delivered the
annual address, In which he referred to the
satisfactory progress OF the association up
to the present time. He believed the day
for individual and miscellaneous
fopns ,Sgs charity SSs % Ra' order to accom
plish results, had TO be administered
through organized bodies, and needed the
same care and attention as bestowed on
large business interests. Individual aims
giving was not only mistake, but great
harm, as, instead OF helping the needy, II
fostered pauperism. The association's aim
was to relieve immediate wants OF the
TO expose the impoetor. In closing, Mr..
Webb hoped the public would cease indl-
vidual almsgivlng and refer all applicants
TO the association, where they would re-
ceive prompt investigation and care.
Secretary l.. s. Emery presented the an-
nual report, showing that for the year end
ing Nov. 90, 1887, there had been 3,617
calls at the central office; calls for aims,

The secretary's report showed that street
begging had been abolished ana that the
most frequent causes OF pauperism were
drunkenness, gambling, and inability tc
work or do anything well.
